Not to resurrect the thread, but I feel I need to add some input to this, as I've been using Gwt-Ext for over a year now. I've been using it in a big and complex application, and the results have been great. Now, about some points people have raised: -Slowness: if you design your application properly and use the right widgets for each job, you'll have no problems. Our application runs like a charm, and it deals with BIG datasets. But yes, you do need to code thinking about performance, as is the case with ANY other application if you deal with a lot of data. -Bugs: I've come across a couple, but nothing serious, and you do have the source, so you can FIX them (I've done it when needed). The detractors please tell me of a piece of software that doesn't have a bug... Our app has always been completely stable, no problems there, so I don't know what some people here are talking about... -Maintainability/extensibility: you have the source, so you can adapt and extend whatever widget you want (done that too).
If you think you can develop the same kind of functionality with just GWT / CSS to match one of these libraries in a decent amount of time, you are just insane, or just are so inexperienced you cannot understand how much work you have ahead of you. It saved us a huge (I mean HUGE) amount of time, and I recommend it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
